13. Cleaner burning, proven technology, easily transportable
with existing infrastructure, and cost competitive
Momentum is growing for methanol as a marine fuel
13 1 Sulphur oxides (SOx), Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Methanol is a cleaner-burning
fuel and can reduce SOx and
particulate matter (PM) emissions
by over 95%, and NOx by up to
80% compared to heavy fuel oil.1
The IMO targets of reducing
carbon intensity will drive
material incremental demand for
low carbon fuels, including green
methanol.
In 2024, a methanol powered
vessel operated by Waterfront
Shipping, was fuelled with the
first methanol ship-to-ship
bunkering at the Port of Point
Lisas in Trinidad and Tobago.
Multiple fuels needed to support
the marine industries
decarbonization goals. Adoption
of methanol is gaining
momentum as it is a proven
technology, available at more
than 125 of the world’s largest
ports and is safe and easy to
store and handle.
>95% reduction in SOx
and PM emissions

14. Firm capacity additions unlikely to meet growing
demand in the mid-term
New capacity additions
Besides G3, limited firm capacity addition
expected in the Atlantic market. Firm
additions outside the Atlantic include a 1.8
MMT plant in Malaysia and plants in Iran and
China.
New capacity is needed to meet demand
growth; greenfield projects typically take 4 to
5 years from FID to commercial production.
Mid-term methanol price outlook
Higher methanol prices and tight market
conditions supported by:
• Growing methanol demand
• Feedstock supply constraints on existing
assets globally
• Supportive energy prices

Competitive position on attractive industry cost curve
The global methanol cost curve is
fragmented
The cost of methanol production varies widely
across regions due to differences in feedstock
availability (natural gas vs. coal), plant
efficiency, and energy costs. Marginal
producers on the high end of cost curve are
high-cost coal and natural gas producers in
China.
Methanex assets competitive across a wide
range of methanol prices due to position on
cost curve
Our growing North American asset base
enhances our position on the cost curve,
supporting margin resilience and
competitiveness.

Iran – New plants have operated intermittently due
to technical challenges and natural gas constraints,

• conditions within the natural gas delivery systems that may prevent delivery of our
natural gas supply requirements,
• competing demand for natural gas, especially with respect to any domestic needs
for gas and electricity,
• actions of governments and governmental authorities, including, without
limitation, implementation of policies or other measures that could impact the
supply of or demand for methanol or its derivatives,
• changes in laws or regulations,
• import or export restrictions, anti-dumping measures, increases in duties, taxes
and government royalties and other actions by governments that may adversely
affect our operations or existing contractual arrangements,
• world-wide economic conditions, and
• other risks described in our 2024 Annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis

26. Global capacity across 7 production locations
1 Annual operating capacity reflects, among other things, average expected plant outages, turnarounds and average age of the facility’s catalyst. Actual production for a facility in any given year may be higher or lower than operating capacity due to several
factors, including natural gas composition or the age of the facility’s catalyst. Methanex’s share shown for Natgasoline in Beaumont (50%) and Egypt (50%). Capacity shown is for methanol unless states otherwise.
2 The Atlas plant in Trinidad is currently idled due to natural gas availability. On October 13, 2023, announced that we have signed a two-year natural gas agreement with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago for our wholly owned Titan methanol
plant (875,000 tonnes per year capacity) to restart operations in September 2024. Simultaneously, we announced our intention to idle the Atlas methanol plant (Methanex interest 63.1% or 1,085,000 tonnes per year capacity) in September 2024, when its
legacy 20-year natural gas agreement expires.

30. Providing solutions for the emerging low-carbon market supports our strategy of global methanol leadership
Reducing emissions and exploring paths to low-carbon methanol
REDUCING EMISSIONS FROM
OUR OPERATIONS
PROGRESSING LOW-CARBON
SOLUTIONS
Reduced-intensity Expansion Projects
Best-in-class technology for growth projects; the G3 plant has one of the lowest emission
intensity profiles in the industry.
Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS)
Announced a Pre-FEED study at our Medicine Hat site with Entropy Inc, which would allow
for captured CO₂ to be reused for an additional 50,000 tonnes of methanol annually, with
the remainder sequestered underground.
RNG Supply Contract for Geismar
Executed a multi-year renewable natural gas contract that will allow us to produce 40,000-
60,000 tonnes of low carbon methanol from 2025-2028 at our Geismar facility.
Operational Improvements at Manufacturing Sites
Systematically identify, evaluate and implement efficiency and emissions reduction projects;
invested more than $15 million of capital into energy efficiency and reliability projects with
GHG reduction benefits at existing sites.
We entered a renewable electricity contract, backed by Renewable Energy Certificates, in
Geismar to cover 25 to 30 per cent of one plant’s electricity requirements starting in late 2024.

32. Illustrative Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow capabilities assumptions
(non-GAAP measures) – Methanex Run Rate
1 Note that Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow are forward-looking non-
GAAP measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by
GAAP and therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures
presented by other companies.
For description and historical Adjusted EBITDA, refer Additional Information -
Non-GAAP Measures in the Company’s 2024 Annual MD&A.
Free cash flow, both historical and forward-looking, is useful as it provides a
measure of our cashflow generation capability and differs from the most
comparable GAAP measure, Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents,
as it is adjusted to include our proportional share of the Atlas joint venture
cashflows and to exclude the non-controlling interests’ share of Egypt
and Waterfront Shipping, with dividends and repurchase of shares added
back. This non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by GAAP and therefore, is unlikely to be comparable to a similar
measure presented by other companies.
2Free cash flow reflects Methanex’s proportionate ownership interest. Free
cash flow is presented after lease payments (~$145M), cash interest (based
on current debt levels) and debt service (~$200 M), sustaining capital (~$150),
estimated cash taxes (~25% rate) and other cash payments. Various factors
such as rising/declining methanol prices, planned and unplanned production
outages, production mix, changes in tax rates, and other items that can
impact actual Free cash flow.
3 Adjusted EBITDA reflects Methanex’s proportionate ownership interest.
Methanex production is based on plants operating at full capacity except for
except for plants which are experiencing gas supply shortages in which case a
near term estimate on production is provided by management. The unhedged
portion of our North American natural gas requirements are purchased under
contracts at spot prices. Estimates assume Henry Hub natural gas price of
~$3.50/mmbtu based on near-term forward curve. Gas contracts outside of
North America are methanol sharing contracts with a base price for natural
gas plus sharing as methanol prices increase. In New Zealand, one plant has
been indefinitely idled; the site has optimized its operating and capital costs
and we expect that these actions will substantially offset the adjusted EBITDA
and free cash flow impact from idling one plant.
